It's been 4 years since I lived there but I keep in touch with several folks and talked with the CincyTechUSA guys last year. I agree a lot is happening and I think that's awesome.

But the truth is that for every link or event Cincinnati has there's probably 100 in SV. Not an exaggeration. Plus, like I said, the most valuable aspect of SV is the people. The density of technology entrepreneurs isn't matched anywhere else in the world.

It's just good to have insight for both worlds so you can make a decision on whether location plays a big enough role in your success and where you should be. For me I'd stay in SV as long as possible but my wife misses her family so we might end up back in Cincy. Starting up is 100s of micro decisions that play a role in your success - location is one of many.
